Intel® Data Protection Technology with AES-NI and Secure Key

Delivers Fast, Affordable Data Protection and Security

What Is It?

Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) is a new encryption instruction set that improves on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm and accelerates the encryption of data in the Intel® Xeon® processor family and the Intel® Core™ processor family.

Comprised of seven new instructions, Intel® AES-NI gives your IT environment faster, more affordable data protection, and greater security; making pervasive encryption feasible in areas where previously it was not.

Why Intel® AES-NI Matters

Encryption is frequently recommended as the best way to secure business-critical data, and AES is the most widely used standard when protecting network traffic, personal data, and corporate IT infrastructures.

With recent advancements in cloud computing, where personal or business-critical information leaves the traditional IT environment, a more widely usable and secure encryption standard such as AES and acceleration mechanism like Intel® AES-NI are essential.

Thankfully, AES is a widely-deployed encryption standard when protecting network traffic, personal data, and corporate IT infrastructures; and Intel® AES-NI can be used to accelerate the AES encryption. With such robust, affordable, and flexible options, Intel® AES-NI can help your business stay ahead of growing threats.
